Recalled Product:

Devices recalled in the U.S.: 17,455 nationwide, including D.C. and the Virgin Islands

Device Use

The Fetch 2 Aspiration Catheter is intended to remove small blood clots from peripheral veins and coronary arteries (thrombectomy) to restore blood flow to the heart.

Reason for Recall

Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling the Fetch 2 Aspiration Catheter because the catheter shaft may break at various points along the device, before or during procedures. If breakage occurs while the device is in a patient, pieces of the catheter may block blood supply to the heart or blood vessels. This could result in the need for additional medical procedures, patient injury, or death.
